honey pistons!

slime can be used to make sticky pistons, so maybe using a honey bottle you should be able to make a honey piston! of course honey blocks dont act the same way as slime blocks, slime is more bouncy but honey is more sticky. so maybe honey pistons would be able to "stick" to mobs or items, and be able to move them, but they cannot pull blocks. this would be good for automatic redstone farms, where they can pick up an item and drag it to a hopper/chest. this would give honey more use, while still keeping slime as a useful substance.

(i put this in "redstone" since it would be a redstone component)

    Maybe honey should make sicky pistons and slime should make bouncy pistons?

    I personally think just being able to dye sticky pistons should be a thing. Same with slime, redstone, lamps, and maybe repeaters?

    I think that honey pistons will bridge a huge redstone parity gap between Bedrock and Java while leaving existing contraptions intact and functional and adding a peaceful method to get pistons that stick. Honey pistons would be crafted with a piston and a honey bottle (gives the bottle back, of course). In Java, honey pistons would function like Bedrock edition pistons (always retracting the block (even with one tick pulse), and not activating due to quasiconnectivity). In Bedrock, the roles would be reversed (sticky pistons are unchanged (no quasiconnectivity, no one-tick behavior), honey pistons function like Java pistons). Adding honey pistons would allow Bedrock players to build bidirectional flying machines, which would open up a lot more possibility (huge doors, bigger and more efficient farms, and more), while adding them to Java would allow players to build more compact and faster contraptions since they will not have to worry about quasiconnectivity working where it shouldn't and being able to extend and retract pistons with a one tick pulse.
